Childhood obesity is a growing public health concern, with around 20% of children and adolescents in the United States experiencing obesity. This factor has long-term health consequences, including metabolic dysfunction and cardiovascular disease. Nettle, a medicinal plant, offers robust antioxidant properties and has been researched for its ability to ameliorate insulin resistance induced by obesity. Learn more about the potential benefits of nettle extract supplementation on metabolic factors in obese children at the link below.

Amla, widely known as gooseberry Indian, is a revered superfood in traditional medicine due to its potent health benefits. Rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, amla plays a role in promoting overall health, making it integral to Ayurvedic practices. The antioxidant properties of amla help maintain healthy hair by combating oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which can lead to premature greying and hair loss. Additionally, research has shown that regular consumption of amla can support healthy levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL cholesterol) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Learn more about the health benefits of amla in the link below.

As we age, progressive accumulation of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are common biological indicators of molecular damage. Urolithin A is a key intestinal metabolite produced through the metabolism of polyphenols found in foods such as pomegranates and nuts that has shown efficacy in preventing age-associated mitochondrial dysfunction through induced mitophagy. Learn more about Urolithin A supplementation effects on mitochondrial health in middle-aged adults at the link below.

Menopause is characterized by the absence of menstruation, occurring 12 months after your last menstrual period. The decrease in circulating estrogen levels can lead to symptoms including headaches, fatigue, hot flashes, mood disturbances, impaired concentration, and potential longer-term chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease and accelerated bone loss. Olive leaf extract, a plant-derived dietary compound, contains numerous polyphenols, including oleuropein. Previous research on oleuropein has shown a protective effect on menopausal symptoms, including improvement of bone mineral density loss and cardiovascular health. Learn more about the potential benefits of olive leaf extract for post-menopausal symptoms at the link below!

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a highly prevalent disease affecting as high as 25-30% of the general worldwide population. It encompasses a spectrum of liver diseases and results in increased oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. Flaxseeds, a rich source of omega-3 essential fatty acids, have been researched for their potential ability to reduce inflammatory levels. Learn about the effects of 12-week flaxseed powder supplementation on liver function and lipid profiles in obese adults with NAFLD at the link below.

Migraines are a common neurological disorder affecting around 15% of people worldwide. Research suggests that migraine occurrence may stem from impaired mitochondrial energy metabolism, reduced oxygen delivery to tissues, and other potential factors. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a bioactive molecule that plays a crucial role in mitochondrial energy metabolism and acts as a potent antioxidant that is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier. Learn about the potential benefit of ALA supplementation for episodic migraines at the link below.

Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a potent antioxidant that combats oxidative stress, a significant factor in the onset and progression of diabetes. ALA aids in reducing inflammation, enhancing insulin sensitivity, and improving glucose metabolism. Beyond diabetes management, ALA has shown potential in alleviating diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy is a common diabetes complication affecting the nerves, causing pain, numbness, and tingling sensations. ALA’s antioxidant properties help protect nerve cells from damage and reduce inflammation, which may alleviate symptoms and improve nerve function.

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a non-enveloped, double-stranded DNA virus, with around 13 million Americans becoming infected with HPV annually. Active Hexose Correlated Compound (AHCC) is a standardized extract of cultured Lentinula edodes mycelia (shiitake) that has been previously researched for its robust immune supporting properties, particularly for its ability to increase natural killer cells. Learn about AHCC supplementation’s effect on HPV clearance at the link below.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects approximately 35.5 million Americans. Because there are little to no signs of the condition, most people are not even aware that they have CKD until it reaches the later stages.

It’s important to understand if you are at risk for CKD so you can get screened and take action to slow the progression of this disease. Learn more about the steps you can take to protect kidney health in this month’s NHR newsletter.
